The Columbia Early Modern Seminar, in conjunction with the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University, will be hosting the 2nd Annual Forms of Early Modern Writing Conference on April 3, 2009. This year's conference asks scholars from an array of disciplines two crucial questions: What is your archive? And how do you work inside the archive? The speakers will present papers that discuss how they use archival evidence to foster a productive interdisciplinary dialogue.

In addition, each paper will be accompanied by an exhibit in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which will be available for viewing the day of the conference and beyond.
